Monday Levity

LT CDR Matt Tucker, who was relieved of command as CO of USS Devastator (MCM 6) in March of 2009, has had his Detach for Cause vacated by the Navy.

Really? The United States Navy has a ship named Devastator? Not only that, but Devastator is of the Avenger-class. We really need to start consulting with George Lucas.

Sigh.
